After a successful India mission, Anna has given us the heads-up that there will be another Intelligence Service agent to meet in Paris on Friday. Sadly she doesn’t give any specifics except that it will be near Boulevard Haussmann, but information should be coming soon. Possibly on Wednesday after the people who (at some point) won a private training session with Lewis and Danilo Gallinari complete their mission. So check back for updates on Wednesday or Thursday.

But first, Paris. This Friday, there will be another trail leading to more vital information. We need you to help us uncover it. To play your part, go to Citadium on Rue de Caumartin and head for the Reebok section on the 3rd floor. You can pick up your instructions there anytime from 1pm to 6pm. A phone or smart-phone will be useful, and you could win a pair of Reebok trainers.

Well the countdown on Flynn Lives hit zero and allowed us to access a new page where they have a list of cities and a place for 66 Operatives to enter codes. Unfortunately, at Zero Hour, only 3 cities had information posted, so if you’re not in Chicago, Orlando or Paris, you’re going to have to keep checking back at the website and hope that you don’t miss the window for your city. Of course, you might be able to game the system a bit by checking to see where the best arcades are in your city and staking them out until the passwords are released.

Update: The Cities have been slowly checked off on the Zero Hour page. I have heard no information about if late comers will still be able to do anything there, so please be aware if you are traveling out of your way to check these sites out.

Over on the Flynn Lives website, there is a countdown that will hit zero on February 24th at 11am EST. Below the countdown there is a slowly revealing list of city names. Current speculation is that things will be happening in those cities when the countdown hits zero, but it’s far too early to tell at this point in time. If you live in or near one of those cities, keep the countdown page or back here for updates within the next 5 days.

Update: So the image has completely resolved and all of the cities have been revealed. The original list posted was pretty close to what it finished up to be (the two switches were Detroit -> Denver and Indianapolis -> Minneapolis). We still don’t know what is going to be going on in those cities or exactly where things will be happening, but hopefully an update is on its way so those people who are contemplating taking off work will know if they should or not.

Geoff Greatbatch sent a high resolution photo that contained Romulan characters written on a board. When translated into numbers, four sets of coordinates are revealed that point to locations near City Halls:

As to what is going to be at each of these coordinates, or even when people should go look, is unknown at this point in time. It seems to be related to the previous breadcrumbs given by PHPChatUser5, despite the fact that Madrid is not in the list.

Update: Not sure if anything ever occurred at the coordinates. However the game is over so nothing will be happening now. I keep hoping for a PM chat to be announced so that we can find out if anything was supposed to happen or not.

An update on 97.74.158.186 had PHPChartUser2 state the following location: Carrefour de la Rue de la Fédération et Rue de Presles [Crossing of Rue de la Fédération and Rue de Presles].

Based on Google Street View, the best guess for a drop location is the Cafe Le Presles, although it’s possible that it could be elsewhere in the vicinity. That is if this is even an notification of a dead drop.

Update: Via Unfiction, TrekMovie.com reports that there is an article on LePost.fr from someone who claims to have the device that was dropped at Rue de la Fédération and Rue de Presles. You can email him to claim the item at mklvnd@aol.fr. Make sure you offer a reward.

Update 2: Since no one has been able to claim the item to the satisfaction of Mklvnd, there is now a video posted on Youtube so people can see what he found.
